Sidewalk straight drive, issue when turning mode reverse back Yarbo weight will leave a channel in the middle of its tracks as it goes, when reverse back is applied even if my auger has a good height, 4.7, it is not enough to clear that middle compacted snow and it will get stuck, very very often, reverse mode should automatically up the auger to the highest 6.1 when reversing back so it does not get stuck in that middle compacted snow channel in between the tracks. ---

This has been requested multiple times. > [@Completely raise auger when backing out of a sidewalk](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/completely-raise-auger-when-backing-out-of-a-sidewalk/4640): > > I have set up a number of snowblower sidewalks and selected the option for Yarbo to back out of them instead of doing a zero turn. What I’m seeing is, when Yarbo backs down the sidewalk, sometimes the auger gets caught on uncleared snow and as a result Yarbo gets stuck and pauses the work plan. I think it would be really beneficial for Yarbo to raise the auger before backing up. A very simple thing, by the would prevent the auger blade from getting caught on any snow or ice. ---
